00:00 How is Hamas financed?

00:02 This Palestinian political and military organization

00:05 is facing international sanctions,

00:07 but has managed to diversify its sources of funding over the years.

00:11 Already since 2019,

00:13 Hamas has collected 90 million dollars in crypto-currencies,

00:17 mainly in Bitcoin.

00:19 But last Thursday, Hamas announced

00:21 that it would no longer receive crypto-currencies

00:23 due to donors' security concerns.

00:25 What are its other sources of funding?

00:27 First of all, Hamas collects taxes on goods

00:30 that cross the border between Gaza and Egypt.

00:33 They use a complex network of tunnels

00:35 to illegally import essential goods,

00:37 such as food, medicines,

00:39 cheap gas to produce electricity,

00:42 building materials and even weapons.

00:45 These taxes are an important source of income for the group.

00:48 In addition, since 2018,

00:50 Israel has authorized Qatar to provide

00:52 hundreds of millions of dollars in aid

00:54 through Hamas,

00:56 which has contributed to support their activities.

00:58 Other foreign aid usually arrives in Gaza

01:00 through the Palestinian Authority

01:03 and UN agencies.

01:05 This includes funds for social services

01:07 supported by Hamas,

01:09 although this is led to the freezing of assets

01:11 by the US Treasury

01:13 due to ties with terrorism.

01:15 But the main support of Hamas remains Iran.

01:17 The country provides funds, weapons

01:19 and training to the group,

01:21 although their relationship has been tense for some time.

01:24 Finally, since 2002,

01:26 Turkey has been another political support of Hamas.

01:28 However, the United States has accused Turkey

01:30 of providing financial support,

01:32 notably through the Cooperation and Coordination Agency,

01:35 the Turkish equivalent of the French Development Agency.
